“The use of the FD-302 has been criticized as a form of institutionalized perjury due to FBI guidelines that prohibit recordings of interviews.
Prominent defense lawyers and former FBI agents have stated that they believe that the method of interviewing by the FBI is designed to expose interviewees to potential perjury or false statement criminal charges when the interviewee is deposed in a grand jury and has to contradict the official record presented by the FBI.
They have also stated that perjury by FBI agents allows the FBI to use the leverage of a potential criminal charge to turn an innocent witness into an informant.[5][6][7]”
“Not a joke...”
That's how they framed General Flynn. The two agents who interviewed him said they didn't think he had done anything wrong on the FD-302 they filed.
Higher-ups changed it.
That's why they hate video recording of FBI agents so much. It prevents them from falsifying evidence.
